Il Love You"

From Harper's Bazar.1
He has said the sweetest of human words,
Sweeter than any song of birds
II love you"
Better than wealth of jewels rare,
Fairer than any flower is fair,
Gl"ddening the heart like the morning sun,
Are these words from lips of precious ont
81 love you,"
The eyes may speak it. the fingers tell
The beautiful story we love 80 we'll,
But best of all is that whisper low
From soul rs white as the falling snow
~ love YOU"
In the saddest hour or the darkest night
There comes again to my longing sight
The tender look of the soft brown eyes,
And listen anew with glad surprise,
II love YOU"
Come into my heart with mystic power,
ask no more than that sacred hour
To cherish and hold till eyes grow dim,
And the life to come is a life with HIM
81 love you"

Keepsakes.
From MacmilIan's MagazineI
Each lover has keepsake
For the memory of his love;
One has a note or a ribbon,
And one curl or glove.
But am rich in keepsakes;
Three notes treasure apart.
There are two accepting my presents,
And one, declining my heart.

The sweetest rose,
Whose witchIng perfume flows

To grasp the rose,
Only its thorn he knows

Captain Coke and Mr.. J. Thomp 'on
Brown, on behalf Of the Union Pas-
scngor-Railway Company, addressed
the committee briefly in the interest OF
the measure they asked.
Mr. Powers arose to opposs Mr..
Cutchins's amendment. The Street
Railway Company, he said, had been
struggling for twenty five years or more
81 gain foothold. He had had in
former years money in the corporation
himself, and lost all OF IT, Further, he
was opposed TO yielding 10 the dicta-
ton of the new company, which, be
claimed, virtually refused 10 run It's
line at all If the Street Railway Com
papy was permitted in adjacent and
parallel lines to it.
THE cUTCH1Ss AMENDMENT CARRIED.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Cutchins's
amendment, and it WAS carried, rs fol-
lows:

Cfcnshaw-i.
The proposition OF the Strcet-Rlil-
way Company as amended was then
granted. Mr. Crenshaw only voted
"No."
TAXATION.
Mir. Chsppell suggested that if the
proposition of the Union Passenger
railway be granted that the basis OF
taxation be the same as that of the
present company-viz. After five
years Gree from tax, 4 per cent for
three years, per cent. for five years,
on gross receipts, after which it shall
be on such basis rs the City Council
may determine.
UNION Observation-Disclosures COMPANY.
The proposition of the Union Passen'
ger Railway Company, amended as sug-
| gestcd 10y MIR. Chappell, was then
granted.
Mr.. Robinson moved to amend by
recurring tine company to run down
Second street to Baker, along Baker to
Fifth, and up Fifth to wherever its lin
| Is located.
This motion was lost.
WHEN WORK MUST BEGIN.
Mr.. Powers moved that both lines be
required to begin work on the road in
sixty days time from the passage of the
ordinance, and to complete the whole
| route in twelve months. Carried

On motion, the length of the charter
granted the Union Passenger Railway
Company was changed from fifty year;

BY Telegraph 10 the Dispatch
BcsToN. February "a statement
was published this morning that John
G. leighton, for nineteen years clerk
of the Municipal Criminal Court in this
city, is short in his accounts to II large
amount, but the exact sum of the de-
falcation could not be known until the
expert now engaged on the books COM
plctcs his labors. City-Auditor Dodge
was credited with the assertion that the
total will be perhaps 600, 900, or more.
Later in the day Auditor Dodge repudi-
ated the statements attributed to him,
and said Leighton's accounts would
not under any circumstances come
under his supervision. The in
yestigation now in progress was being
made under the direction of the
Judges of tne court. Leighton is a
man Of means. He recently resigned
and informed the Judge that his books
would show that they are not correct,
but that it was attributable to uninten-
tional errors on bis part, and he was
ready to make the deficiency good
when the amount was ascertalned. An
expert was then put to work on the
books, but the business is of a charac-
ter that makes it difficult TO investigate.
Judge FoIsaith, one of the judges of
the court, to-day assured the reporter
that the discrepancy was comparatively
small, aud that Leighton could straight
Ell it without drawing heavily on his
purse. The Judge laughed NJ the idea
of the amount reaching 5000, 600.

filed this morning when the Senate was
called to order. Mrs. Logan and her
son, daughter, and friends to the num-
Der Of twenty-five occupied seats IN the

House prayer, alluded to the late Sena-
tor Logan, asking that those who turned
from the open grave with sympathlzlne
hearts might be filled with the spirit OF
Him who was touched with the feeling
Of human infrmities.
As soon as the Journal was read Mr..
Cullom rose and offered a resolution
that as an additional mark OF respect
TO the memory of John A. Logan, long
senator from the State of Illinois, a
distinguished member of this body,
business be now suspended in order
that the friends and associates OF the
deceased may pay fitting tribute to ms
public and private services.
Mr.. Cullom then proceeded to adj
dress the Senate. He spoke of this

DsKOrA,s TERRIBLE WINTER.
A Large Number OF Persons Perish

lBy telegraph to the Dispatch


CHICAGO, February "a Times spe-
cinl from Devils Lake, Dakota, says:
The body of Mrs. Edward Walters,
who disappeared few days since, has
been found near Devils Lake. Mr..
Walters came to Devils lake from his
firm last Friday, and the storm became
so severe that he could not return.
His wife is thought to have become
alarmed at MS absence and started togo
to her nearest neighbor's. Her body
was discovered u short distance from the
road upon the open prairie, partly COW
cred by snow, and only quarter OF a
mile from her own door. The snow
about the spot where she lay indicated
that she had walked about in small
circle for long time. The blizzard
last week was the sevcrest of the rough
est winter known for many years, and
reports are coming in every day of per
sons being caught out upon the prairie
in the storm and frozen to death. The
total of those lost in Dakota this winter
can hardly be below the death figures
of the Vermont railroad accident, while
a large number viii suffer permanently
